What happens at 120 F
Ok I have posted on this site about this very same problem. Ny 74 1.8 has not been on the road because of this lates problem. She will start and run fine until alittle over 120 F. At 120 she stutter and runs real rough and then after just a few seconds after that she shuts off live she stops getting fuel and just dies.
My thoughts...Maybe the cold start valve so I san tests with both connected and disconnected and no difference. Head Temp sensor was my second idea and i bought a new one and went to put it in. I found that i have a second location for my Head sensor. it is just to the left of the sparkplug. about six inches away from the stock one. it is about as easy to get to as it could be.so i put the new one there and fired her up. nothing. Relized that i didn't have that copper washer and so i replaced that and still nothing. so i figured i would put it back in the stock location but as i tried to remove the old original head temp sensor and the last owner forgot to use anti sezie and the sensor broke off in the head. But even if it is better to use the original location my problem would have changed somewhat even if i put it in the wrong place, right?
On a tip someone said that my air mass meter might be bad so i am checking that out. It does connect to the fuel pump so if for some reason it shuts it off at 120 then that would do it. But that temp sensor is for out side air. anyways i thought i had it figured out with the head temp sensor but now im back where i started. any ideas? thanks
